John Williams Poet Rhyme

8 Line Challenge For Eric Boddie

You say eight lines and they may rhyme,
If I were you lad I would see the sign,
You've got nothin' better to do with your day,
Go out young man and earn an honest day's pay,
Trivial matters like writing poetry
May get  you an audience of some notoriety,
But there's nothing like the sweat of your brow,
Lingering brain cells like yours we should not allow.

Surely we've got better things to do. Round up a few sheep, sit and watch the corn grow, talk about the flaming weather....and so on..... I was actually President of , ' The Boring Society Of NSW,' but I quit and took up writing poetry....hahahaha have you added your effort yet?
